Chapter 556 - The Angry Fleet Admiral!
To avoid any accidents in the upcoming war, it was understandable that Kabuto wanted to abolish Bartholomew Kuma Shichibukai’s position.
Sengoku and Tsuru also agreed with his proposal.
It’s just that the candidate nominated by Kabuto was Deidara of the Art Pirates.
Deidara’s bounty was not high among the Shichibukai. This was because this guy was not very popular, he just often blew up things he did not like.
To be honest…
Deidara was more like a child with a bad character.
Moreover, there were not many crew members in the Art Pirates. Besides Deidara, there was only the vice-captain, Puppet Artist Sasori.
It was said that the remaining crew members were all puppets controlled by Sasori!
Over the past few years, the Art Pirates and Shichibukai Gecko Moria often clashed, and Moria had already issued a personal bounty on the Art Pirates many times!
It seems that it was because Sasori took away the body that Gecko Moria worked hard to collect and made it into a puppet…
Therefore…
If the captain of the Art Pirates, Deidara, became Shichibukai, it would arouse the dissatisfaction of Gecko Moria. If Moria refused the conscription and even quit the Shichibukai position, it would be a loss.
Sengoku frowned and thought for a while, then proposed a method, “Anyway, Bartholomew Kuma must be arrested in advance. His devil fruit ability is too troublesome!
First, we will abolish his position as Shichibukai in the name of Bartholomew Kuma refusing to accept the conscription, and immediately imprison him to avoid leaking the secret!
Moreover, this can also be used to warn the Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock. Before the war, at least maintain stability… Then we will ask the other Shichibukai to see if they are satisfied with Deidara!
Although this is our decision, now is the time of war, we have to take a good look at whether introducing Deidara as a Shichibukai will cause too much loss to the combat power of Shichibukai…”
For the marine…
If they lost another Shichibukai in order to introduce a new Shichibukai, this account seemed to be really not worth it!
Especially when they needed Shichibukai to work for them!
If this group of Shichibukai took this opportunity to collectively quit, then it would truly be a loss. This was also the drawback of the Shichibukai system.
When the marine habitually relied on the convenience of the Shichibukai system, they would gradually be restrained by the Shichibukai system. When facing Shichibukai’s problems, they would have to treat them carefully so as not to suddenly have another enemy.
“Okay.”
Kabuto nodded slowly and pushed his glasses, “Then we will send someone to invite Deidara to take over Shichibukai’s position!”
“Huh?”
Sengoku frowned in surprise, then nodded. “Shouldn’t we follow the order? Send someone to capture Bartholomew Kuma and spread the news that a Shichibukai has been abolished!”
“This matter is already done.”
Kabuto shook his head indifferently and slowly said, “Before we had a meeting, I had already applied for an arrest warrant from the World Government. Admiral Kizaru has already carried out the order secretly and imprisoned Bartholomew Kuma…”
After saying this, Kabuto continued, “Moreover, I have also received the news. Because of Enies Lobby’s incident, some Shichibukai will probably arrive early. At least four people will come today. This is already half of them. We need to talk to them…”
The four Shichibukai…
One was Kakuzu, one was Kisame, the other was Hawkeye Mihawk, and the other was Doflamingo. How could he not agree to have one more person in their Shichibukai camp?
“…”
Sengoku’s expression was slightly ugly.
Did this Kabuto do it on purpose? This guy even issued an arrest warrant.
He even secretly sent Kizaru out to arrest Bartholomew Kuma and even wasted his time in the office saying why he wanted to abolish Bartholomew Kuma.
As a Marine Fleet Admiral…
He didn’t even know that one of the Shichibukai was going to be abolished!
Before, the matter of the Third Admirals transferring to Enies Lobby was also arbitrarily made. This Kabuto directly crossed him. Did he want to make him, the Marine Fleet Admiral, a puppet?
“I hope Lord Fleet Admiral doesn’t mind too much…”
Kabuto smiled and said, “After all, anything about the Revolutionary Army is not a small matter. Moreover, didn’t I report to you?”
“…”
Sengoku was silent for a while. He took out a document from his table and fed it to his little goat. He then said coldly, “Forget it. Before you give any orders in the marine, it is better to discuss it with me and Vice Admiral Tsuru in advance…”
“It doesn’t matter…”
Kabuto still had a smile on his face. He continued, “Anyway, even if I discuss it with you, it will not change the decision I have made in the end.”
No matter what objections Sengoku had, in the end, the World Government would still give the same order to the marine. Moreover, the World Government Commander-in-Chief, Kong, had already been taken over by Kabuto in a practical sense.
Because the Five Elder Stars trusted Kabuto more.
Moreover, Kabuto had indeed done a good job.
The corners of Kabuto’s mouth curled up. Looking at the anger in Sengoku’s eyes, he chuckled and continued, “A lot of things could have been easily solved by myself. Why would I waste Lord Fleet Admiral’s time?”
Kabuto seemed to not see the blue veins on Sengoku’s forehead gradually popping up. His smile still did not fade, “It would be fine if Lord Fleet Admiral, the former Resourceful General, could have a better way. But it’s impossible for Lord Fleet Admiral to provide me with better advice, right?”
“… Don’t be too presumptuous! “
Sengoku gritted his teeth and slowly opened his palm. He wanted to slap Kabuto’s smiling face directly!
Now, when Sengoku saw Kabuto’s smile, he felt angry!
This bastard…
This was really too infuriating!𝒇𝙧𝐞ℯ𝒘e𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝐞𝑙. c𝐨m
Originally, after Sengoku scolded Uehara, he barely managed to get rid of a part of his anger. But in the end, it was once again lit up by Kabuto
In fact, the anger in his heart was even stronger!
“Really…”
Kabuto slowly stood up, not caring about Sengoku’s anger at all. The smile on his lips became more and more brilliant, “Whenever I see Lord Fleet Admiral, I can’t help but think of a sentence. And Lord Fleet Admiral should say this sentence when he scolded Vice Admiral Naraku in the afternoon!”
Kabuto calmly stood in front of Sengoku’s desk, looked straight at this Marine Fleet Admiral, and said in a low voice, “I will also give that sentence to Fleet Admiral Sengoku! For a person without ability, it is best not to occupy a position that he should not occupy. This will make him very tired of living…”
“… bastard! “
Sengoku’s aura gradually surged, and the documents on the desk were slowly sent flying by his aura. This Marine Fleet Admiral finally could not suppress his anger!
Was this how Kabuto looked at this Marine Fleet Admiral?
Sengoku looked at Kabuto coldly and said in a cold voice, “Great Inspector Kabuto, I can understand that you are provoking your superior…
I won’t do anything to you today. I just hope that you can remember that it is not wise to provoke someone who can take your life at any time. With your wisdom, you should be able to understand!”
“Is that so?”
Kabuto rubbed the space between his eyebrows and smiled, “Interesting… Then let us wait and see! I hope that our Lord Fleet Admiral can always sit firmly in his seat. Even if Lord Fleet Admiral already knows, the whole marine thinks that you are no longer qualified…”
“… You!”
Sengoku clenched his fists!
Because what Kabuto said was the truth!
As a Fleet Admiral, Sengoku had already faintly sensed this direction. Although many people still respected him, there were already many vice admirals and even admirals who had joined Kabuto’s camp…
Kabuto’s information can increase the chance of victory, reduce the losses of the marine in conquering pirates, and allow this marine to better uphold justice!
Even Kabuto can protect the safety of their family, although I don’t know if it’s for protection or for monitoring threats or something…
Last year, there was an accident that happened in Marineford. A family of a Vice Admiral was secretly kidnapped by a pirate. Marineford was helpless and even though former Admiral Zephyr’s family history was repeated, the CP department saved them…
If not for his decades of prestige, if not for the fact that Kabuto’s position in the World Government was already high enough, if not for the fact that Kabuto wasn’t strong enough, if not for the fact that Kabuto couldn’t become Admiral, it would really be hard for Sengoku to sit firmly in the Fleet Admiral’s position
“Sengoku.”
Just as Sengoku wanted to get angry, Tsuru stopped him and shook her head at him. “Now is not the time to argue with a child…”
After saying that, Tsuru looked at Kabuto. There was a complicated look in the old woman’s eyes, “Little Kabuto, do you remember what I told you? A person can’t always be right…”
“Yes!”
Kabuto smiled and nodded.
However, in his heart, there was a sentence that he did not say… If he followed the fate set by God step by step, how could things go wrong in his life?
At this time.
At Marineford’s port, the sound of a broadcast echoed.
“The Shichibukai Mr. Dracule Mihawk, Mr. Donquixote Doflamingo, Mr. Kakuzu, Mr. Kisame – will arrive at the port in batches. Please clear the docking area to make a way…”
“…”
In the Marine Fleet Admiral Office.
Tsuru could not help but sigh. The four Shichibukai were about to arrive at Marineford. The Fleet Admiral Office only received this news after hearing the broadcast…
